Mumbai, July 18: With just under two weeks left in July, lakhs of women in Maharashtra are still waiting for their 13th installment of INR 1,500 under the Ladki Bahin Yojana. The monthly financial aid, meant to support eligible women across the state, has seen delays before, and this month is no different. Since the Ladki Bahin Yojana’s launch in July 2024, 12 installments have been disbursed until June 2025. But the July installment, due earlier this month, has yet to reflect in beneficiaries' bank accounts.

This isn't the first delay. In the early phase, the first three installments of Ladki Bahin Yojana, for June, July, and August 2024, were all credited together in August, soon after the scheme was rolled out ahead of state elections. Last month too, many women had hoped the June and July Ladki Bahin Yojana payments would come together. But only the June installment was credited. Now, with more than half of July gone, women are once again left waiting, and worrying, about when the next INR 1,500 will arrive. Fraud in Ladki Bahin Yojana: 2,652 Maharashtra Government Employees ‘Misused’ Scheme, State To Recover INR 3.58 Crore.
